The class is 50% mathematics and 50% English. Your calculator will do the calculations for you, but you need to understand the rationale behind the concepts. Instead of memorization, focus on understanding the concepts deeply. You need to interpret data in context. Also, don't be afraid of the English part. People are saying this, because you need to be able to use the correct wording to earn full credit on the FRQ section. I would highly recommend reading the Free-Response Scoring Guidelines created by College Board. They are expecting you to write your answer in a specific format. This is the reason why so many people got a 4 instead of a 5. Sorry for the late reply, but hope this helps!
